If you can afford to drive round in a £30k S3, then £2k isn't really a problem on rims..

...unless you spent all the money on the car

I'm not too sure about the standard rims I have to say, but I think i'll keep them on for a while when I finally get the car, If I did change them then I'm a fan of the OEM look and would look for something like the new RS6 wheels if they came in 18" or possibly the new S4 wheels.

Thanks for help guys, but now im torn between soo many different sets now! I am swaying to the Work VXX..they do look the dogs do da's! Anyone know if you can buy them in UK? Ive had a quick look and they are mostly in america which is annoying. Cheers for any feedback

Wheels from PW Motorsport (but "special" deal (on here a while back) was for silver only as Anthracite weren't in stock so price wouldn't apply to the the different colour).

Tyres from Ebay, all brand new Contisport Contact 3's. Bargain!

And fitting and alignment.

Only problem with CK is the tyre choice..as unless you want the tyre sticking out you have to go for 225 35 19's...The CK's look much better than CH in my opinion but there isn't much choice when it comes to tyres due to the offset. A few garages were quoting some very cheap prices on the Conti Sport Contact 2's- only £130 each fitted.

If you go for the right wheel the offset means you can go for a 235 35 19 which is a far more popular size and offers the same load index as the standard fit tyres.

I'm finding the 225's a bit squishy so far, but not sure if it's all in my head. But i won't draw any final conclusions until the tyres are scrubbed in and i have a proper chance to test the car out.

here's also a set in anthrecite but id bling it up and go with the polished

I love the polished CK too but Phil at PW motorsport put me off these a little as BBS don't have a very good history with polished rims, I k now I had my BBS GTi mk5 alloys changed under warranty and also the santa Monicas on my mark 4 all due to laquer peel.

FWIW this is the CKs in 18" ... I think they work okay, although 19" probably does look better. I got these partly because they were on my wife's GTI, haha, and also because I'm not too keen on 19" from a ride perspective.

While the CKs are okay (IMO) if you went for the CH Blacks I reckon you'd need to get those in 19", in 18" I reckon they look a bit too small.

I think that's rabbit's car he's got a video on here i think check it out, but yeah those are sooo nice id go for the ck2 in pollished tbh but i think there really expensive have a chat to phil ..from p.w. motor sports
